I had to roll mine until the lap was layed flat against the inside of the quarter in order to get enough clearance..

what modifying did you have to do to the bumper cover??.. im still not sure if i wanna take the chance by rolling the fenders and/or cutting the bumper cover....

and how much did you bring the camber in??

I used a razor knife and cut off where the top mounting screw is facing forward towards the wheel, then tapered it down close to the second screw, then smoothed it out, and painted it. It sounds cheesy as hell, but if you look at it, you can't tell it didn't come that way. Anyone who hasn't done that doesn't cruise as low as I do unless they're running some 14" daytons.

Lowering the car actually brings the camber in, I took it back out where it should be is all. Without doing that I doubt the 275's would clear on the inside when driving. I put my wheels on, backed the car up a couple times in the driveway, rolled the lips, cut the bumper, then trailered it to the alignment shop. All which wouldn't have had to be done if I weren't so low while running the BFG 275's. Three guys at the alignment shop laughed at how close all my clearances are. I have no space anywhere, yet don't rub.

PoniesVIII- Are you running the inner fender skirt on the front of your car?

Yes. It's actually loose cause I's on the side of I35 500 miles from home at 2 a.m. with no patience and the f'n hose to the compressor i'd just replaced wasn't pushed in far enough to keep a seal. Got down on my stomach and ripped it past the bumper cover so I could get my ARM back in far enough. ..and still no rubbing.

..In case you were curious about clearance. Brad did a better job on the offset and backspace of these wheels than anyone could've purposely calculated for. Front and rear, flawless fit while slammed.
 
thanx all.....

3 piece wing is next.. i have it already... just waiting to take it to the body guy...

i also have all extra trim pieces that im also dropping off to be painted black..
